The back is finished and the size looks good. I am binding off for the armscye on the right front. I&#8217;m worried about the size. Although I know it will fit, I&#8217;m unsure if I&#8217;ll like a sweater this snug fitting. As soon as I finish I&#8217;ll block this piece and I&#8217;ll know more. The knowledge should allay my fears.</p>
<p>11.02.13~Nervously beginning a Custom Fit sweater using Amy’s Acorn pattern. My body image is of a bigger person than I am. Being tall doesn’t make me large and I need to get my head around that fact. I’m hoping this will fit me in a way that will change my mind about my size and I will be able to wear this sweater (and many more to come) comfortably.</p></div>Mon, 21 Apr 2014 15:37:04 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/acorn-trail---customfit-recipe/indexmargeneAlta Retreat Brayhttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/bray-cap

The hat gets off to a complicated start, but I see the reasoning for the method of cast on. However, if I make this again I&#8217;ll use a different method.</p>
<p>The yarn broke while I was working the first row of cabling, because the ribbing is on a size 5 and the cables use size 8 needles. When I worked a row of stockinette with size 8 before starting cables there was enough give in the stitches to work the cables.</p>
<p>The hat has been fun, the yarn is soft and will make a cozy hat, and the pattern is straight forward. I have a small head and the hat is large on me, but it fits well enough. I love the poofy crown.</p></div>Wed, 01 Jan 2014 19:16:06 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/bray-cap/indexmargeneImagininghttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/imagine-when

When it was finished I thought it was a going to be too small and badly shaped. BUT, it turned out beautifully and just as pictured. GREAT pattern!! So much fun.</p>
<p>9.15.13~ I really made a mess of my first attempt as I didn&#8217;t watch the increases as closely as I should have. I had to start ALL OVER and did so around the first of September. The second time through has gone very well as I keep track CAREFULLY! Picots, eyelets, increases&#8230;it&#8217;s a lot to keep track of and a nice check list is the only way. I now see the light and things are going well, as I&#8217;m checking a box with EVERY ROW! Oh, happy day.</p></div>Tue, 07 Jan 2014 15:26:25 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/imagine-when/indexmargeneHome on the Rangehttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/germinate-aka-ttl-mystery-shawl-2013

<p>06.26.13~Still working on clue 3, but I see the light and I&#8217;m looking forward to the lace edging.</p>
<p>06.10.13~Clue 2 lace section finished and I&#8217;m starting third stripe section, which will conclude Clue 2.</p>
<p>06.06.13~Finished clue 1 (second stripe section).</p></div>Fri, 09 Jan 2015 19:24:25 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/germinate-aka-ttl-mystery-shawl-2013/indexmargeneSweet!http://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/sweet-dreams

<p>8.12.13~ Haven&#8217;t had a chance to spend much time knitting, but I&#8217;m now (almost) half way on the bind off.</p>
<p>8.08.13~ Binding off, picot bind off, which is a very slow process. The shawl is luxurious, incredibly soft and very elegant.</p>
<p>8.04.13~One more row and then the picot bind off. It&#8217;s taken me awhile to knit this shawl, but I&#8217;ve enjoyed it all! The beads are perfect, the yarn is heavenly, and I can&#8217;t wait to show this beauty off.</p>
<p>7.26.13~10 long rows from the end, but this shawl is GORGEOUS! Love the yarn and the pattern is very elegant. The beads will be a breathtaking addition.</p>
<p>7.24.13 ~Took a little break but&#8230;away we go. Sweet is growing again!</p>
<p>5.31.13~This shawl is knitting up beautifully! I love the yarn in the stockinette section as it&#8217;s shows how nicely it is spun and how rich the color is. Should be starting the lace soon!<br />Yarn is Spirit Trail fiber 50 Cashmere/50 Silk Tussah from the fiber club in 2008.</p></div>Tue, 03 Sep 2013 12:41:18 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/sweet-dreams/indexmargeneOur Cookie Sockhttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/our-cookie-sock

It&#8217;s a cozy warm sweater, but I wish I&#8217;d paid better attention to sizing and knit one size smaller. I&#8217;ll still enjoy wearing it.</p>
<p>06.10.13~Only the buttons to sew on, but it&#8217;s nearly 100 today and a big wool sweater just doesn&#8217;t appeal.</p>
<p>6.04.13~All the knitting is finished and I just need to block the front bands and sew on the buttons. That&#8217;s right, I did a button band and not a zipper. It suits me a little better. SO happy to be finished. FO photos soon!</p>
<p>5.30.13~Button bands almost finished then I realized (such an airhead) that the buttonholes should have been made on the right side, the side I finished first. Must pull out that side and start again&#8230;just as soon as I finish the second (left) side. Sometimes I wonder about my ability to reason. My first thought upon starting this was it would be finished by June, just as the days start getting hotter and summer arrives. Of course!!</p>
<p>5.22.13~ Finishing! I&#8217;ve been a slow knitter. Everything has knit up easily and I&#8217;m very happy with the yarn, too. Time to find buttons as I prefer something other than a zipper.</p>
<p>2.13.13~Started a sleeve! How creative! Leave it to Cookie to figure out this very neat elbow design. Trust the pattern and just knit. I&#8217;m going to love how it turns out.</p>
<p>2.10.13~Finished the back which went very quickly. yay!</p></div>Sun, 08 Sep 2013 13:55:05 GMThttp://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/chicane/indexmargeneSurprise!http://www.ravelry.com/projects/margene/198-yds-of-heaven
